Is it just me or does anyone else hate it when Captain...

Picard is in his room and whenever someone knocks on his door he says, "Come."

I think they should've picked another line for him to say instead of that one. How about, "Come in." I just don't like the way the former sounds.

Uh...ah...*innocently* whats wrong with how it sounds ?

It...seems ok.Come in would have been nice too.Or how about *chime* "whose there?" ; p

Or perhaps a simple, "Yes?"

Aye,yes would be great *tries to imagine how it`d sound*....Perfect,basically.How about "Enter " ? ; )

Deela · **Thu May 01, 2003 5:21 pm**

Yes, enter! Another good one. I wonder why the went with "Come." I never really thought of it in... erm "that way" before lol, but it has always irked me for some reason.

"Come" sounded funny... I'd prefer "Come in."

I think he has just shortened "Come in" to "Come" because it's easier. He's not always hoping Beverly is at the door.

Now im reminded of that "Picard as captain of the loveboat sketch"....you know ^_~

Am I imagining stuff... or did Patrick Stewart as Xavier in X-Men 2 say 'Come' too? I can't hear properly what they're saying... 'cuz of the stupid pirated VCD...

neo_viral · **Sun May 04, 2003 5:23 am**

Well he did say something like err...."come to me my x-men !" or........hmmm

Marina Sirtis · **Sun May 04, 2003 11:45 am**

I think " Come" sounds ok

Why would people argue (disucss, if you wish) something so trivial as if "come" sounds good for the show. It's even a complete sentance...there's nothing wrong with out

Yeah but it sounds so funny. If I were on that ship I would keep going to his room just to hear him say that

It's just one of those really strange things that is funny to some people but annoying to the rest. It's like voyager, how after they talk to an alien race on the view screen, Tom goes 'Friendly fellow' or of course theres the doc who goes i'm a doctor, not a ... whatever. Something that gets really annoying after a while

Same with Janeway's "Understood?" and "[don't ask me any questions or comment, just] Do it."

^^^Yeah but to me Janeway says it with some emotion. Picard is just angry
